I buy into any piano kind of beauty – and this is what Kettel is a virtuoso in. Add here bells, stings, occasional birds singing (Shinjuku Inn)… Electronic music that can be compared to classic (remember that Reiner has been listening to Bach since young age). The album makes you look out of the window with a slowly cooling cup of tea in your palm – rather than dancing the night away. The rhythm doesn’t let you fall into an overly sweet nostalgia, but the main role here is melancholic chords. This is a soundtrack for self-contemplation, the music of the kind that turns your plain everyday into film episodes. Sometimes, like on Michael Space Airlines, you can even get a glimpse of bossa-nova. Beautiful weirdness is what makes Kettel what he is. And if you listen closely, you can even get lost in this labyrinth of gentle sounds.[/lang_en]
